Butterfield has been a key player for the newly-promoted Championship outfit, starting five of their six League fixtures, putting in a man of the match performance against West Bromwich Albion and scoring in the 3-1 win away to Barnsley.

NICK BLACKMAN

Blackman was another whose contract was due to expire in the summer, but signed a 12-month deal on “much reduced terms”. He still left the club in the summer, though, heading to Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

Blackman had spent the 2017-18 season on loan with Maccabi, scoring 12 goals in 40 League appearances.

He played in both legs of Maccabi’s Champions League qualifier with CFR Cluj, scoring once as they were knocked out. Blackman also featured in both Europa League qualifying legs with FK Suduva, again scoring as his side were defeated.

KELLAN GORDON

Gordon made just one senior appearance for the Rams – in August 2017 – and following a succession of loans he made a permanent move this summer.

League Two Mansfield Town swooped to sign him on a two-year deal, after Gordon had a trial with Scottish side Kilmarnock which came to nothing.

The versatile wide man has been a regular for John Dempster’s side so far this season, playing in five of their league games (four of them starts) and also starting the Carabao Cup draw with Morecambe.

CALUM MACDONALD

The 21-year-old only moved to Blackpool at the end of August – but made his debut for his new club on Tuesday.

It came in the Football League Trophy, with the defender playing the full 90 minutes and earning man of the match in a 5-1 win over Morecambe.
